Until you try, you do not know what you cannot do. Do not play for safety; it is the most dangerous thing in the world. If you do not do it excellently, do not do it at all. Because if it is not excellent, it will not be profitable or fun, and if you are not in business for fun or profit, what the hell are you doing there? Normal is not something to aspire to, it is something to get away from.

To love is to admire with the heart: to admire is to love with the mind. Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams.

People are not remembered by how few times they fail but by how often they succeed. Every wrong step is another step forward. First we form habits, then they form us. Conquer your bad habits, or they will eventually conquer you. Quit now, you will never make it. If you disregard this advice, you will be halfway there. Some people walk in the rain. Others just get wet. Begin difficult things while they are easy.

Our awesome responsibility to ourselves, to our children, and to the future is to create ourselves in the image of goodness, because the future depends on the nobility of our imaginings.

Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life. We outgrow people, places, and things as we unfold. We may be saddened when old friends say their piece and leave our lives… but let them go.
